A DEAD BODY
Took awhile.
Sounds pretty sweet. Did you use your new software on it?
Hatpins As Deadly WeaponsWhile hatpins were widely used to hold hats in place, they evolved to serve another purpose for women: deadly weapons. After instances of women staving off attackers with hatpins and even men dying after being stabbed with 12-inch hatpins, these little decorative accessories were feared by men. In 1908 and 1909, hatpins started to be viewed by men as potential weapons and laws were enacted to limit their size and use. Many laws limited the size of hatpins to 9 inches.https://antiques.lovetoknow.com/about-antiques/identify-authentic-antique-hat-pin
